PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Ministry of Health (MOH) is still monitoring about 3,000 participants who had attended a Sri Petaling Jamek Mosque gathering.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said among the reasons why the 3,000 people had not been screened was that those who had gone abroad had not returned since attending the gathering.
"We are still monitoring and we have the records. It is hoped that when they return, they will be screened and quarantined for 14 days," he told a Covid-19 daily media conference here on Friday ."There are 1,465 positive cases among the tabligh participants. There are 10,213 negative cases and 4,292 pending cases. About 3,000 people have yet to be screened, ’’ he said.
He said 50% of the cases were linked to the tabligh gathering, and now, it had spread to the religious schools.
